Thomas Marshall letter to Dan M. Link 1917 June 5

THE VICE-PRESIDENT'S CHAMBER, WASHINGTON. June 5, 1917. My dear Dan, - I have your letter with reference to McIntyre and it touches me very much. At this moment, I do not know what I could do for him because along the line you suggest, the National Council of Defense is serving gratuitously and there are hundreds of men here waiting to offer volunteer service. The men they employ and pay are mere clerks drawing from $1,000 to $1,200 a year and McIntyre could not live on that in Washington. I assure you, however, that I will keep him constantly in mind and if I can get away from here I want to see you and canvas the matter with you in the hope of doing something for him. Mrs. Marshall joins me in kindest regards to all the Links in that chain of friendship which has bound us together for so many years. Regardfully yours, Dan M. Link, Auburn, Indiana.
